After Christmas 2020 SODC collected 3,390 Christmas trees from their Christmas tree collection points, approximately 76.85 tonnes (based on an average weight for a 6ft tree). These trees were sent to be composted and saved 0.95 tonnes carbon from being emitted into the atmosphere (if they had been incinerated).
That’s the same as:
- making 1,792,453 cups of tea
- charging 1,759.30 phones each day for a year
